Yes, Ty, there may have been no realistic win on policy.
Winning is (i) doing our best to delay the day when ICE starts showing up at dreamers homes (more than they already are) deporting people; (ii) blocking their legislation; and (iii) winning the house back so we can do something good. A Hail Mary in there is getting acceptable but not great bipartisan immigration legislation in the mean time.

That's what winning is when you're in the minority. We've actually done a lot of winning the last year - they failed to get Obamacare repeal through, they didn't get any major bill through a legislature they controlled until the tax legislation, we've kept Mueller in the field, and we've had a series of court cases go our way on key issues, especially immigration and redistricting. These are pretty significant wins.
